CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA—Oct 10, 2012—Interquest, a leading market and technology research and consulting firm in digital printing and publishing, has released details of its seventh annual Digital Printing in Government and Higher Education Forum. The seminar, which is free for government and higher education professionals, will take place in Washington DC, on Wednesday, Nov. 14, 2012, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the U.S Government Printing Office (GPO).

According to Gilles Biscos, president of Interquest, “We’ve held this event in Washington for six years running and are very excited to partner with the GPO this year. We believe the synergy between our organizations will greatly enhance the event.”

The forum is designed around recent and ongoing Interquest research in digital printing in governmental and higher education environments. The morning and afternoon sessions will feature presentations, case studies, and end-user panels addressing the needs of both audiences. It will also feature a panel of executives from leading vendors who will present their companies’ strategies and solutions for the government and higher education markets.

The keynote of the event will be delivered by the Acting Public Printer Davita Vance-Cooks, and attendees will have the opportunity to tour part of GPO’s printing operation.
